The <10, <4, <2.5 and <1 µm fractions of eight regolith samples have been extracted as aerosols, then analysed for more than 60 elements by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Precision and accuracy rivals that of conventional digestion and ICP-MS analysis for most elements, but the aerosol extraction and ablation approach can be completed within 30 min, avoids compromising the sample by screening, column settling, fusion and/or digestion, and includes data for elements such as Br, Cl, I and Se that are conventionally analysed by individual procedures. Major element chemistry and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery show that the aerosol fractions of regolith are dominated by kaolinite, with quartz in aeolian regolith. The aerosol fractions of Si- and Ca-rich regolith have higher trace element concentrations than the coarser fraction (0.45–2 mm), but chalcophile elements are depleted in the aerosols of Fe-rich regolith relative to the coarser fraction. Improvements in in-field analytical technology coupled with aerosol extraction mean that fine and ultrafine fraction chemistry can be used to guide mineral exploration programmes in close to real time.Supplementary material: The results of the laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis of filter papers are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.4562807

Based on microwave digestion and dry digestion, the concentrations of Si, S, Ca, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Al, Mo, Sb, Ti, V, Y and Zn in carbon fiber were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Compare with the concentrations in the solution got by microwave digestion, the concentrations in the solution got by dry digestion are higher. And microwave digestion is more suitable for treatment of carbon fiber containing volatile elements than dry digestion.

For solid sample quantitative analysis by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) the main analytical problems are adequate standards preparation and signals standardization.
